Is there any reason why my fx8320 is getting put down to 2.91ghz.
Ive heard it may be my motherboard, second opinions and help please?

Motherboard: GA-78LMT-S2P
PSU: 650W
GPU: MSI N760

Thank you for your answers, i looked it up a bit more apparently my motherboard gives a 95w power outage to my CPU when it needs 125w.
So looks like i need a new motherboard as this one is bottle necking my current CPU.
Last thing someone needs when they've just setup there rig draining all there money :p

My next question is, will my current setup with the bottle necking affect any life in any of my parts as i wont be getting a motherboard for a while.
Thank you again

I've updated my BIOS to the f4a version which i believe is the latest?
I did look it up before i got the motherboard and it does support my CPU but apparently now it doesn't give enough power to my CPU
